Mu Liuyun was very nervous, and Yuan Mu on the side also had a solemn expression, and he kept observing the corpse carefully.

Outside the gate of the mountain temple, the villagers also looked nervous. Although they were extremely scared, they also wanted to know what was going on. Why would a dead man appear from a perfectly good statue? So who

Don't want to leave either.

Mu Liuyun had never thought that this mountain temple would be in such a situation. He originally thought that someone was just pretending to be a ghost to scare the people around him, just like Sun Shucheng, so he didn't bring the autopsy guy with him.

My son was also anxious, so he could only patiently clean up the mud and dirt carefully, hoping that the local county government officials would be reliable and that the chief clerk and clerk would arrive as soon as possible.

After several gentle wipes, the mud on the corpse's face gradually became thinner and reduced. Although it was not completely cleaned, it was not like nothing could be seen before.

While Mu Liuyun continued to wipe it carefully, he looked at the part of the face that had just been exposed. He vaguely felt that this face looked a little bit familiar, but he couldn't tell who it was.

After a few more rounds of wiping, the dirt on the dead man's face finally became less. Although it was still mottled, his facial features were clearly exposed, allowing people to see his appearance clearly.

Mu Liuyun looked at the face in front of him and felt that he almost lost his breath for a moment, and his heart suddenly felt like an iron lump was shoved into it, and it suddenly fell.

She quickly turned to look at Yuan Mu behind her, and saw that Yuan Mu also had the same pale complexion.

Shen Wei had already cleaned up to her knees. When she looked up, she saw that Mu Liuyun had stopped moving and had an ugly expression. The same was true for Yuan Mu beside her. She couldn't help but be curious. She got up and came over. She stretched her head and saw clearly the appearance of the dead man.

He immediately took a breath and couldn't hide the surprised expression on his face: "This...this...isn't this Mr. Li from our Xisi County???"

Mu Liuyun nodded and sighed slowly.

After being unable to find Li Yuan for so many days, she actually thought that according to common sense, this was a very bad thing.

However, common sense is common sense, and human feelings are human feelings. Li Yuan is an upright, honest, and wise person. He has always been the object of Mu Liuyun's admiration. He also feels that there is a person like Li Yuan in Jiangzhou who is convinced by the people of this area, and

She has always regarded Li Yuan as a clear lotus in the mud of Jiangzhou.

Because of this, even though intellectually he knew the odds were against him, in his heart he still secretly hoped that a miracle would happen in the end and that Li Yuan would be found safe and sound.

Now, Li Yuan found it, and in such a strange way, Mu Liuyun's original little hope was suddenly shattered.

Their initial speculation was indeed correct. After Li Yuan was trapped and kidnapped, he was quickly taken across the river. This is why no matter how hard they searched in the Jiangzhou area, they found nothing and could not find any trace.

Combined with her previous guess about how rotten the body was, and how long it had been since Li Yuan disappeared, it was basically consistent, and it was also certain that Li Yuan was kidnapped very quickly after being designed by those people.

Was killed.

As for why it was necessary to go to such great lengths to bring Li Yuan's body over to Jiangzhou and to the boundary of Shezhou, this is not yet certain, but it is not difficult to guess. After all, the person is on the boundary of Jiangzhou, or at least on Jiang's territory.

The other side of the river is found much faster than crossing the river, so it will be much easier to follow the clues and dig out the real culprit.

Yuan Mu's face was also extremely ugly. On the one hand, he also admired Li Yuan very much and had a feeling of sympathy for heroes. On the other hand, Li Yuan's hands and feet were broken, even though his other physical conditions were still good. Unknown, being sealed in a clay statue like this was still a cruel killing.

How arrogant it is to deliberately rob and brutally kill a court official, and you simply don't take the king's law seriously!

Shen Wei frowned and said in surprise and anger: "Who did this?! In our Xisi County, whoever mentions Mr. Li would not give a thumbs up! My father is the most annoying person in his life. When dealing with people in the government, he always praised Master Li as a good official and an upright person.

What kind of stinky bastard could attack such a good person?!

When we catch the bastard who harmed Mr. Li, I will use my braids to round him up and give him a good beating first!"

Mu Liuyun sighed. Shen Wei had the same idea. She felt that the people who harmed Li Yuan wished they could be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, but that was not enough to satisfy their hatred. Those people had harmed more than just a single life. They ruined a pillar of the imperial court, and even brought an end to the blessings that the common people could have received by having good parents and officials!

In the past, the officials had to fill vacancies everywhere. I wonder what kind of person the next county magistrate of Xisi County will be. If Master Kong is not brave enough, but has a kind heart, he will be convinced. If he sends Yang Sir, or someone like Zhang Yaozu of Bei'an County, the people of Xisi County will suffer a lot!

What's more, Li Yuan has always been the main force in controlling the bandits in Jiangzhou. Now that Li Yuan is gone, if those so-called bandits wait for an opportunity to counterattack, it will not just be the common people of Xisi County who will suffer. ?

Mu Liuyun looked at Li Yuan whose face was vaguely identifiable on the ground. The sadness and anger in his heart were intertwined. He remembered what he had discussed with Yuan Mu before about the sudden and mysterious death of a well-known talent. Both hands subconsciously clenched and unclenched their fists, unclenched and then clenched them.

Seeing her ugly expression, Yuan Mu sighed softly, went over and pulled Mu Liuyun aside, and motioned her to sit down on the stone platform next to her and rest for a while.

"Even if you keep staring at him, Li Yuan will never come back to life." He comforted Mu Liuyun and said, "Before the county government office arrives, you should rest first. When people arrive soon, they will also bring you As for the guy who has done the autopsy, you still have to do the autopsy yourself, so don’t think about the other things for the time being."

Mu Liuyun knew that what he said made sense, so he nodded and sat on the stone platform, waiting for the county government officials distractedly.

"After I finish dealing with this, I want to write a letter to Jiang Jin to remind him to pay attention to his safety." Mu Liuyun was silent for a while, then looked up at Yuan Mu, his face looking a little pale.
